Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky has rejected the latest U.S. proposal for a minerals deal that would create a partnership to repay the United States for ongoing financial support. According to Zelenskyy, the deal to share in oil, gas and mineral revenue would amount to debt that would disqualify them from EU membership due to unstable financials.
However, it is important for U.S. readers to remember the U.S. aid package already underway pays for the entire operation of the Ukraine federal spending liabilities, including pensions, government worker paychecks and everything normally within a govt budget. U.S. taxpayers are not only subsidizing the war with munitions, but we are also subsidizing the government operation and citizens of Ukraine. Within that spending there is MASSIVE corruption ongoing.
When Zelensky rejects (1) the terms of a “minerals deal,” (2) rejects U.N peacekeepers, (3) rejects the predicate for peace that Russia will retain part of Eastern Ukraine geography, and (4) rejects the offered security guarantees, he is also rejecting the idea that American taxpayers should be repaid for all their support.
Almost all of these rejections appear based on Zelensky’s belief the U.K, France and European allies can replace any support lost by President Trump changing his approach toward Ukraine. Zelensky, who has not been elected, is developing a reputation for being so difficult, so demanding, so spoiled and temperamental that neither Vladimir Putin nor President Trump wants to deal with him.

Zelensky makes alot of demands for someone who doesn’t have the cards. He needs to go for peace to come.
unelected pedophilic dictator who has already
murdered a large fraction of a million of his people,
.. because Soros and the State Dept enjoyed him
playing an organ with his penis.
Indeed. Moreover, if peace breaks out, a great many more gravy trains will slow and stop.
the little punk dick ..
Well then, Zelenskyy, maybe you should just hitch your wagon to the EU and we can just bow out and leave you two to take care of things yourselves.
I still don’t understand why Trump is investing so much political capital in Ukraine.
Zelensky’s EU backers clearly want the war to continue, Zelensky doesn’t care if every Ukraine man is killed, and both want to embarrass Trump.
Problem # 1 is continuing to call him President after his term expired. Dictator, Tyrant, Beloved Leader - maybe, but what is the controlling legal authority that allows him to use the title President?
He is a corrupt piece of shit. He has double-crossed President Trump as evidenced by his White House meeting and his actions and statements ever since. I hope that President Trump pulls all military and financial support from him. Simply put, he needs to be run out of office. Lastly, Putin is no bargain either but I believe that Putin does want this war settled and is willing to work towards that.
Too lazy to insert the Saruman ‘so u have chosen death’ meme
Ukraine is about the size of Texas....And “Z” wants to start a world war over it?? “Z” end game is still to get rid of everything Russian. It’s an overgrown Civil War.
Zelensky is completely out of touch with reality.
“Alternative headlines:
Putin refuses to remove his occupying forces from Crimea.”
Or: Putin taking land faster as Ukraine’s Army is worn out.
Yes Macho MAGA Man.
Stop giving this clown American money and arms.
Zalensky is playing us for fools,
That’s exactly what Biden did...and you did nothing...
You are absolutely correct.
Enough supporting this war with our money and arms.
Hell for a couple years the U.S. has been paying for Ukraines retirement funds.
With all our needs and problems America first and to hell with this punk,
Zalinsky.
Demands for ever more from us while playing us for fools.
We lost a lot of men and money kicking Sadam from Iraq and got squat for our efforts. No oil from them just the middle finger towards us.
Stoopid us are doing the same Ukrainian.
F-em.
